She created the designs for the new national currency of Cyprus, and these illustrations were chosen by the Central Bank of Cyprus to become the first Euro ever issued for the country. She has also represented Cyprus in the 18th Biennial of Illustrators in Bratislava, Slovakia, in the 6th Beijing International Art Biennale in Beijing, China, in Osten Biennale of Drawing, in Skopje, North Macedonia and most recently in the first Larnaca Biennale, in Larnaca, Cyprus.

Inspired by the art world’s knee-jerk hostility to crypto art, POP PRINCIPLE is a battle that pits key names in the traditional arts scene against pioneers in the digital realm to shed light on the rapid evolution of the creative industry. The NFT art game, imagined by Kenny Schachter and powered by digital art platform Daata, positions the likes of art critic Jerry Saltz, mega-dealer Larry Gagosian, and artist Yayoi Kusama in one camp, and digital artists Refik Anadol and Osinachi, and record-breaking NFT artist BEEPLE in the other. Hans Ulrich Obrist adopts a neutral stance and stands in the middle ground. Across several rounds, players are invited to select and mint unlimited editions of their favorite creators to become the leading collector of the most popular character.

The eight characters, encapsulated as 3D animated avatars with distinct personalities, will be released as a series of open-edition NFTs at Kenny Schachter’s show at New York City’s NFT Gallery on May 18. The tokens will then be sold on Daata for one month, through June 17.

Its creator, Kenny Schachter has long eschewed gallery models and market winds, instead embracing emerging technologies in ways that have rubbed against the traditional art crowd.

David Hockney. Keith Haring. Larry Rivers. Jennifer Bartlett were artists who experimented in the 1980s with the Quantel Paintbox, a forerunner to Photoshop.
Decades later, graffiti artist and photographer Adrian Wilson, himself an early Paintbox user, has tracked down the artists’ long-lost pieces made using the obscure computer graphics machine. Now, Wilson is showing a selection of 20 Paintbox artworks to the public for the very first time in “How Quantel’s Paintbox Changed Our World,” an exhibition from the Computer Arts Society at the Phoenix Cinema and Arts Centre, Leicester, U.K.

Quantel invited six artists to try out the Paintbox for the BBC2 series Painting With Light in the mid-’80s. Richard Hamilton and Sidney Nolan were so impressed that they went on to buy their own personal Paintboxes. Hockney spent eight hours working with the BBC on the Paintbox at the Quantel headquarters. He made his “first colored glass drawings,” sparking a decades-long engagement in digital art that continues today with his iPad drawings and animated projected art show, on view through June 4 in London.
The new Quantel exhibition includes a Hockney portrait of British textile designer Celia Birtwell, one of the artist’s recurring muses. The image never made it into the BBC broadcast. Wilson got his hands on it when someone came to him with a box of slides and other Quantel ephemera that had been saved from the trash.
“How Quantel’s Paintbox Changed Our World” is on view from the Computer Arts Society at Phoenix Cinema and Arts Centre, 4 Midland Street, Leicester, U.K., May 9–June 30, 2023. It will travel to the British Computer Society Moorgate, 25 Copthall Avenue, London.

On May 20th, 2023, the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA), designed by the renowned Ghanaian-British architect Sir David Adjaye in collaboration with S. Ghosh & Associates, unveiled an architectural model of its upcoming building, set to open in Delhi in 2026 and serve as India’s largest cultural center. The preview took place during the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, curated by Lesley Lokko.

An installation showcasing the model was presented as part of the Curator’s Special Projects, to coincide with the groundbreaking ceremony for the new museum in New Delhi. The exhibition, titled ‘Mnemonic,’ explores the theme through artworks from the museum’s collection by prominent Indian artists Tyeb Mehta (1925-2009), Zarina (1937-2020), and Nasreen Mohamedi (1937-1990). Additionally, contemporary filmmaker Amit Dutta’s film, ‘Touch AIR (2023),’ accompanied the presentation.

Founded in 2010 by Kiran Nadar, one of India’s prominent art collectors, KNMA is a pioneering private museum dedicated to exhibiting modern and contemporary artworks from India and the subcontinent. With a collection of over 10,000 pieces, the museum draws inspiration from the region’s rich cultural history. The upcoming KNMA location, sprawling over 100,000 sqm near the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, will be an international cultural destination for visual arts, music, dance, and theatre. This new space will enable the museum to showcase a more significant portion of its collection at any given time, hosting ever-changing exhibitions, permanent displays, and captivating performances. Currently situated in New Delhi and Noida, the expansion to a larger, state-of-the-art facility signifies KNMA’s commitment to becoming a premier global hub for artistic expression.

The Vienna Tourist Board launched an AI art campaign to promote tourism in the city. The campaign features AI-generated artwork inspired by the city of Vienna and aims to promote tourism through innovative and creative means. The AI algorithm used for the project analyzed thousands of images and generated unique artworks capturing the essence of Vienna's culture, landmarks, and history. The campaign highlights the increasing integration of AI in the art world and its potential to create captivating and engaging experiences for tourists.

The Austrian artist began as a fashion designer in Vienna, studied in Italy, New York, and Germany, enriching his artistic vision. His expressionistic paintings explore the inner life of man, particularly through intense portraits. These powerful and distinctive portrayals capture the collective identity rather than individuality. Herwig identifies emptiness with certain facial features, presenting a society filled with vices, weaknesses, and melancholy. His captivating faces challenge us and reveal the deep-rooted malaise of a generation. They are creatures from a dark world, reflecting sexual excesses and loneliness. With great empathy and talent, Herwig exposes the complexities of humanity in a world of illusions and restless souls.
